For those in the Philadelphia area, if you haven’t been to the Penn Museum you really ought to go. You might imagine it’s nothing special but the Penn archaeology group is world renowned, particularly in egyptology. The only reason I went was because it was a dinner held by the university for new students in my grad program and I had low expectations. I was, however, blown away with the content of this museum. It’s really very good.
U of Penn is or was one of the top few places in the world for cuneiform and Assyriology, was well.
